Match Prediction: Grayhound Gaming - Rooster | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference OceaniaGrayhound and Rooster will meet in the second round of the ESL Pro League Season 17 Conference Oceania. I don't think that we will have at least some intrigue in the match, since one team is clearly stronger than the other.
However, Rooster can already be commended for the commitment, as the team has become the second force in Australia in just a few months. And yet Grayhound is two heads taller, from which I would not expect even the slightest struggle.
Grayhound shape
The 27th team in the world ranking expectedly failed at the IEM Rio Major 2022 Challengers Stage, but still managed to take one random victory over Cloud9 in the second round.
Then the Australian team won ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 15 too casually, losing all one map. In general, Grayhound is doing well if we are talking about the local level.
However, we will not look too far - first we need to deal with the guys from Rooster.
Latest Grayhound results:
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over God's Work with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Encore with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over VERTEX with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Rooster with a score of 3:0.
Best Grayhound Maps:
- Inferno - 60% of wins.
But if earlier the Australian team banned Overpass, now there are options to think about.
Form Rooster
The 130th team in the world ranking came in second at the end of ESL Australia & NZ Championship Season 15, which was quite unexpected, since Rooster didn’t really shine anywhere.
After that, the Australian team played at all sorts of ESEA Cash Cups, where they never even won. As for the start at the ESL Pro League Season 17: Oceanic Conference, here the team was able to cope with Hello Kitten uWu, but it's at least stupid to compare.
Rooster's latest results:
- Defeated by Grayhound with a score of 0:3.
- Lost from Tax fraud with a score of 0:2.
- Defeat from Encore with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by Arctic Clunge with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Hello Kitten uWu with a score of 2:0.
Best Rooster Maps:
- Nuke - 100% win rate.
- Vertigo - 75% of wins.
- Mirage - 75% of wins.
In turn, the Rooster team renounces the Ancient card.

Prediction for the match Grayhound — Rooster
I do not think that this meeting is fraught with a sensation, because, logically, such matches close to zero and are immediately forgotten. Yes, the leader has not played for a long time, but Rooster did not improve in the offseason either. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Grayhound team with a score of 2: 0.
